, 20% OFF through today with code LW20. In this unique collaboration, classicist Alexandra Pappas and venerable scholar-monk Bhikkhu Anālayo open a new contemplative path by exploring how timeless Buddhist teachings echo—often strikingly—in the earliest voices of Western philosophy. Beginning with the thoughts of Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, and Socrates, Alexandra Pappas examines their ideas on impermanence, selfhood, the four elements, ethical living, and rebirth. Bhikkhu Anālayo then takes up these same ideas through the lens of early Buddhism, revealing parallels and illuminating contrasts in unexpected places. Rather than focusing on historical influence or cross-cultural borrowing, the authors uncover shared human concerns and distinctive philosophical responses, enriching our understanding of early Buddhist thought by seeing it alongside other ancient explorations in a shared love of wisdom.
